ASFM: Admin

[ButterTart]

Oh right! I thought he was planning on doing a randomly assigned country one?

Mine was where you'd be assigned a country. I could always adapt that so it's just European countries.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I actually have about 5-6 songs that could fit the category :emoji_muscle::emoji_ok_hand::emoji_punch::emoji_selfie:

 

[dUb]

OKAY

Well I probably won’t launch it until after Mafia, but I will confirm now that it will be an ANTI-VALENTINES theme

Is it too early to SUBMIT

 

[Kate]

YES

 

[dUb]

Ok sure sure sure... is it too early to RESERVE

 

[Tisch]

Ok sure sure sure... is it too early to RESERVE

PRE-SAVE NOW

 

[Kate]

You really think someone's going to steal your song

me in 3 weeks entering every Now United and PRETTYMUCH song I can think of:

 

[Kate]

OK for you IMPATIENT types, here's what I'll be putting in the launch thread, since I was just going over it in my head on my WALK. DON'T PM ME, I'm not accepting anything yet but you can be considering your potential entries if you like.

ACCEPTABLE THEMES in descending order of preference:

• BUNNY BOILING BITTER RAGE! (e.g. Kelis - Caught Out There)
• I'm better off without you anyway, cunt! (e.g. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive)
• Unrequited love (e.g. Robyn - Dancing On My Own)
• Heartbreak (e.g. Robyn - With Every Heartbeat)
• Leave me alone you incel fuck, I am never going to have sex with you (^)
• Who needs a man* anyway, I'm going out dancing with the girls*! (^)

^ I couldn't think of a famous example, suggestions welcome
* other genders may apply

UNACCEPTABLE THEMES:

• My lover is so lovely/sexy, I love them/having sex with them
• I am desperately looking for love/sex, I hope I find it soon!!!!

I will now open the floor for questions

 

[Iguana]

I think you mean

• BUNNY BOILING BITTER RAGE! (Songs about shit lists preferred)

 

[octophone]

• Leave me alone you incel fuck, I am never going to have sex with you (^)

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"?

 

[octophone]

I mean, this is a gloriously open field, I already have 4 in mind and have thought of a fifth while I'm typing. All I need to do now is make sure I've actually got time to participate.

 

[ButterTart]

Leave me alone you incel fuck, I am never going to have sex with you

I would thank you to keep our e-mail correspondence PRIVATE in future.

 

[octophone]

@Kate, I can set it to music and then @ButterTart would have to come back with a diss track.

 

[Kate]

I assumed I was the incel fuck in that scenario tbh

 

[Cerro de Casa]

BEST THEME EVER

I have so many songs to choose from.

 

[Beverley]

Thinking a few months ahead, how about a little Eurovision-themed ASFM? I know not everyone would be bothered but it’d be quite nice to potentially coincide with Eurovision week and capitalise on what will probably be quite a big week posting wise.

I'd quite like a Eurovision-adjacent one, where it would be acceptable to sub artists who have appeared at Eurovizh before.

 

[OutSynk]

Do I go for a song I was considering anyway that’s possibly a smash or a song that could get a reaction similar to Phoenix’s last round?

 

[Berly]

Is self love or songs about masturbation allowed?

 

[Kate]

hmmm good question. So long as there's an obvious element of "I don't need anyone else", I would say yes.

 

[BoysForSeles]

BEST THEME EVER

I could flood this with banshee tracks if I was allowed.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How is the theme being enforced?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I could flood this with banshee tracks if I was allowed.

I was thinking of that but then if we go for that strategy it'll be easy for everyone to work out if it's you, me, @jivafox , @Tisch or @Iguana

So I might go for an alternative strategy altogether.

Or not.

 

[Kate]

How is the theme being enforced?

I'll be reviewing the tracks as they come in and will notify the senders of any unacceptable ones so they can re-select. This will include looking up translations of foreign language tracks. Yes I'm aware I'm making extra work for myself here.

If people have a borderline one I strongly suggest they save it for the next non-themed ASFM, but if they're desperate they had better send it EARLY so they've time to find a new one if I say no.

If a poster is sending a foreign language song, maybe they should send a link to the English translation.

lyricstranslate.com is good for translations.

 

[Kate]

That would be super lovely and helpful and I shall suggest it

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I love how HANDS-ON @Kate is both as Admin and as ASFM queen

 

[Soldi]

I’ve found a REALLY good song although it’s more of a collection of WORDS rather than lyrics

 

[Kate]

lol if you could see the admin forum last night

Indie: jQuery.extend(Waindigo.liveThreadsOptions,{liveRefreshUrl: '{xen:link threads/live-refresh, {$thread}}',
refreshFrequencyMinimum: {$xenOptions.waindigo_liveThreads_refreshFrequencyMinimum},refreshFrequencyMaximum: {$xenOptions.waindigo_liveThreads_refreshFrequencyMaximum}});

Zen: function removeIfMoreThan20Messages() {if (liveThreadRemoveInProgress) {return;}liveThreadRemoveInProgress = true;var messages = $('.messageList .message').length;if (messages > 20)

Indie: We did it! Go team admin!

Zen: I'm proud of us!

The best thing about this theme is that it automatically excludes Caramella Girls et al.

You realise certain posters will view this as a challenge?

I realized that as I was tapping on ”post reply”. We’re fucked!

 

[dmlaw]

Actually, most of their songs would probably fit into the "who needs a man anyway, I'm going out dancing with the girls" category.

 

[OutSynk]

They literally have a song called Valentine on Spotify released a few days ago. I think this is what inspired the theme.

 

[RS]

I actually don’t recall them having vocals/lyrics at all, but that’s because I’ve never listened to them more than once.

Oh yes I’m here for this governance. No wishy washy themes, reject away!

And it's a bop.
